Summer Fresh Greek Lemon Rice - Bright Sunny Lemon Pilaf Recipe

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures fluffy rice.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the rice and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is lightly toasted.

Pour in the vegetable broth, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then fluff with a fork.

Stir in the fresh dill, parsley, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve warm with extra lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over individual portions.
